<h1>Linking Grid/Graph shortcuts</h1>
<p>After you add a Grid/Graph, you can later link it as a shortcut, which 
 means that any changes made to the original report are passed to the Grid/Graph 
 in the document. Once a Grid/Graph is linked as a shortcut, you cannot 
 edit it in the document. Editing options include adding a view filter, 
 formatting rows and columns, sorting, changing the graph style, modifying 
 graph titles, and so on. &nbsp;(For a complete list of 
 editing options, see Editing Grid/Graphs in documents.) You can: To unlink 
 a Grid/Graph, see 
<a href="Unlinking_Grid_Graph_shortcuts.htm">Unlinking 
 Grid/Graph shortcuts</a>. </p>
<p>For a Grid/Graph that has been placed in the document as a shortcut, 
 formatting options are more limited than when formatting a standard Grid/Graph. 
 When formatting a Grid/Graph used as a shortcut, you can: </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Add a title bar </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Format the container and the title bar </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>View it as a grid, a graph, or both a grid and a graph 
 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Specify properties, such as position, size, grid overflow, 
 and quick switch</p></li>
</ul>
